INTRODUCTION
Your new COMPACT DISC PLAYER WITH AM/FM STEREO CASSETTE
RECORDER is a specially designed all solid state set which, with proper care, will give
you years of trouble-free service. Please read these operating instructions carefully as
they will help you obtain maximum performance from this set. Unpack the unit carefully and
place it on a level surface, away from sources of excessive heat, such as radiators.
POWER SUPPLY - 2 WAY SYSTEM
This unit is designed to be operated from two different power sources as listed below:
A. DC OPERATION
This set runs on 8 size "C" batteries. For best performance, always use heavy duty alkaline batteries.
TO INSTALL BATTERIES
1. Remove the Battery Compartment Cover by gently pushing downward and outward.
2. Insert 8 size "C" batteries.
BE SURE TO PLACE THE BATTERIES AS PER THE SKETCH SHOWN.
3. Replace cover.
NOTE: Old batteries may swell and leak. To avoid damage to your set, remove the batteries when the unit is to be stored for long periods of time or if the batteries become exhausted. When batteries become weak, the Power/Batt. Lamp will be dim; when batteries are dead, the Power/Batt. Lamp will be off.
NOTE: To use your set on battery power you MUST remove the AC cord from both the wall outlet and the back of the set.
B. AC OPERATION
Plug the AC line cord into 120 Volts AC 60Hz 15W standard household outlet, and the other end of the cord into the back of the set as shown.
NOTE: This cord is polarized. This means either end of the cord will only fit ONE way into the socket or wall outlet. If it doesn't fit, don't force it, just reverse it and try again.
TO PLAY THE RADIO
1. Slide the Function Switch to RADIO position (the Power Lamp will light up).
2. Select required wave band (AM, FM or FM Stereo) with Band Switch.
3. Tune to required station by rotating the Tuning Control.
4. Gently rock this control back and forth until you get the strongest, clearest sound.
5. The built-in AM antenna and the FM rod antenna are directional. When receiving an FM broadcast, extend the FM Telescoping Antenna in full length. The strongest reception can be achieved by rotating the set for AM or rotating the Telescoping Antenna for FM.
6. Adjust the Volume Control and Tone Control to your listening taste.
7. To turn off the radio, slide the Function Switch to TAPE (POWER OFF) position.
NOTE: FM Stereo is weaker than FM (mono). If your FM stereo station is weak or you hear too much noise or hissing, try to adjust the FM Telescoping Antenna or slide the Band Switch from FM STEREO to FM.
STEREO HEADPHONE JACK
A Stereo Headphone Jack has been provided on the top of the set so that
you can listen to the set without disturbing others. To use this jack, plug in low
impedance stereo headphones (not included) and adjust the Volume Control for your
listening pleasure. Special internal switches will turn off the set's speakers when you
plug in the stereo headphones.
To listen to built-in speakers, unplug the headphones.
CASSETTE OPERATION
Note that all of the tape buttons except the Cassette Pause Button and
Cassette Stop/Eject Button operate in the same fashion. To activate a feature, you press
the button all the way down so that it stays in its depressed position when you release
it.
To deactivate the feature, press Cassette Stop/Eject Button.
FAST FORWARD AND REWIND
For fast forward or rewinding of the tape, press the Cassette Fast Forward Button or Cassette Rewind Button .
PAUSE
The Cassette Pause Button is used to edit commercials or in case recording is temporarily interrupted. Since the deck motor is still running, while the pause key is depressed, this pause feature should be used for a short time only.
AUTOMATIC STOP
This instrument has a built-in automatic stop and the tape mechanism will stop playing or recording and shut off when it has reached the end of the tape.
MANUAL STOP
The tape player can be stopped manually by pressing the Cassette Stop/Eject Button.
CASSETTES
CASSETTE TAPE SELECTION
The quality and condition of the cassette tapes you use will have a
direct effect on the performance of this unit.
Low quality tapes tend to be broken and stretched and a broken tape can easily become
entangled in the drive mechanism, causing major damage. Stretched tapes will run at uneven
speeds and will distort anything recorded on them.
· Use only well-known brands of tapes.
· Use of C-120 (120 minutes) cassette is not recommended. The extreme thinness of this
tape may result in breakage or other failures.
· This unit is not designed for CrO2, Fe-Cr or METAL tape use. Therefore, be sure to use
name brand normal cassette tapes.
CASSETTE TAPE FOR RECORDING
Generally, a fresh blank tape is most desirable for use when recording. A tape with
previously recorded information can also be used since this set erases the tape in the
recording process, providing the Record
Interlock defeat tabs are in place. For more information on these tabs see PROTECTING
CASSETTE TAPE AGAINST ERASURE BELOW.
IMPORTANT NOTES CONCERNING CASSETTE TAPES
1. After a period of time, especially when inexpensive brands of tapes are used, the sound
during playback may become "muffled" or, in extreme cases, almost inaudible.
This is most frequently NOT A FAULT OF THE SET ITSELF but merely a deposit of oxide and
other contaminating element on the tape heads. The easiest way to overcome the problem is
by using a head-cleaning cassette. Follow the instructions provided with the cleaner
carefully.The tape head is a delicate precision component and serious damage will result
if you attempt to scrape the contamination away with a sharp implement.
2. Other common causes of trouble are:
(a) Tapes jamming - leading to uneven speed during playback.
(b) Tapes tangling - where the tape wraps itself around vital
parts of the mechanism.
To reduce the chances of these problems occurring, you should take the
following precautions:
(1) Check that there are no loose layers of tape visible through the
cassette center window (see FIG. 1). Tighten these loose layers using a pencil before
inserting the cassette into the machine (see FIG. 2).
(2) If the cassette feels tight while performing the operation shown in
FIG. 2, the tape may be jamming due to "ridges" in the winding of the tape
(visible through the center window). These may be removed in most cases by fast winding
the cassette from one end to the other and back again. Or the tape may be permanently
damaged. Do not play damaged or worn out tapes, as this may cause your set to break.
NOTES FOR STORING CASSETTE TAPES
1. Do not put a cassette near a magnetic field, such as a TV, or speaker. Magnetic fields may reduce the tape sensitivity or even erase the recording.
2. Do not store cassette for any length of time in a hot, moist or dusty place.
TO PLAY A CASSETTE TAPE
1. Open the Cassette Door by pressing the Cassette Stop/Eject Button
(in some cases, you may have to press the Cassette Stop/Eject Button twice since this
button has combined functions of stop and eject).
2. Insert the cassette, with the exposed tape facing upwards, into the
tracks in the Cassette Door -- the full reel or spool must be on the right side.
3. Close the Cassette Door.
4. Check the position of the Function Switch to make sure it is in the
TAPE position.
5. Press the Cassette Play Button.
6. Adjust the Volume and Tone Controls to your listening taste.
7. To stop the tape manually, press the Cassette Stop/Eject Button.
8. To remove the cassette, press the Cassette Stop/Eject Button again
and the Cassette Door will open.
Unload the cassette tape, reverse it and return to cassette compartment if you want to
play the other side of the cassette tape.
NOTE: If the Play Button pops up, the tape has reached the end. Remove the tape,
flip it to the other side and re-insert and press Play.
CAUTION:·
· The automatic stopping mechanism may
not operate during playback of tape when set is using batteries if the batteries are weak.
· Disconnect the AC power cord plug from
the AC outlet if the set is not going to be used for a long period of time (2 weeks or
more).
· Do not leave any tape buttons down when
set is not in use, or else the pinch roller could be damaged.
· Remember when inserting tapes, the full
reel must be on the right side.
AUTOMATIC LEVEL CONTROL (ALC)
This set has the latest Automatic Level Control circuitry, therefore, it is not necessary to adjust the Volume Control when recording. This circuit automatically records at the correct level and prevents over loading.
NOTE: While recording you may adjust the Volume Control and Tone Control as you desire without affecting the recording operation.
TO RECORD FROM THE BUILT-IN RADIO
2. Load the cassette tape into the Cassette Door (full reel on the right side).
3. Tune into the station you want to record, press the Cassette Record Button and Cassette Play Button both at the same time. Both buttons should remain in their depressed positions when released.
4. You are now recording from the Built-in Radio and the recording process will automatically stop at the end of the tape and shut itself off.
5. To stop the recording manually, press the Cassette Stop/Eject Button.
6. When you want to play the cassette tape after recording, press Cassette Rewind Button, then press the Cassette Play Button. Adjust the Volume Control and Tone Controls to your taste.

3. Press the Cassette Record Button and Cassette Play Button at the same time. Both buttons should remain in their down positions when released.
4. When you talk in front of the set, your voice will be recorded. You are now recording using the Built-in Condenser Microphone and the recording process will automatically stop at the end of the tape and shut itself off.
5. To stop the recording manually, press the Cassette Stop/Eject Button.
6. To hear what you recorded, press the Cassette Rewind Button and Cassette Play Button.
TO ERASE A TAPE
Simply record any new program, the old program will automatically be erased. If you cannot press the Cassette Record Button, see RECORD LEVER INTERLOCK .
PROTECTING CASSETTE TAPE AGAINST ERASUREAll cassette tapes are provided with tabs which, when in place, allow tape erasure to be performed. If the tabs are removed then the tape CANNOT be erased and the Cassette Record Button cannot be depressed.
To protect the A (or 1) side of cassette tape, break off the A side tab with a screwdriver.
Follow same procedure for B (or 2) side.
NOTE: Music tapes you buy from a store have these tabs removed to prevent
accidental erasure.
The tape can be re-recorded or erased, if required, by covering the tab holes with plastic
tape.
I
NOTE: If the Record Button will not go down, the tabs above are probably missing - Also check if the tape has reached the end.
CLEANING THE TAPE HEADS
When the heads, capstan and pinch roller become dirty, this may result in muffled, distorted or reduced sound during play-back and may even result in tape jams. Remove the cassette tape and clean with a cotton swab moistened with commercially sold head/pinch roller cleaner or alcohol. Wait approximately 10 seconds for the alcohol or cleaning fluid to dry before using.
SPECIAL HINTS ON HOW TO GET THE BEST OUT OF YOUR SET
AM RECEPTION - You may find that you can improve the reception of your favorite station by rotating the set a small amount.
FM RECEPTION - You may find that you can improve the reception of your favorite station by collapsing the telescoping antenna a small amount, or rotating it, or if station is weak, slide Band Switch to FM (mono) position.
RECORD BUTTON - If you find that you cannot depress this button, check the Record Interlock defeat tabs on the cassette. (see page 11) or re-insert the tape so that full reel is on right side.
TAPE HEADS - The tape heads should be cleaned periodically with a special cleaning tape (available in music and Hi-Fi store) to remove the particles of brown oxide coating from the tapes that collect on these heads. These particles fill the gap in the heads and degrade performance.
CD OPERATION
HANDLING A DISC
